This makes an excellent foundation planting for a house as it has non invasive roots and fits well framing windows or used in giving height at corners of the house. ‘Sky Pencil’ also makes an excellent container plant. In the deep South, make sure to give ‘Sky Pencil’ an adequate amount of water. ‘Sky Pencil’ may reach 6-8 ft in height by 2 ft in width in 10 years. ‘Sky Pencil’ is a female holly and can have gorgeous red berries if a male holly is nearby.
